Love Island winner Davide Sanclimenti tucked in to his own Italian snack here in Manchester before a night on the town with pals. Davide, who won the hit ITV2 dating show with his partner Ekin-Su Cülcüloğlu, is now back in his adopted home city of Manchester and seemingly loving life back in the real world.
Self-proclaimed "Italian snack" Davide shared with friends and followers his own rather heftier Italian meal out that he enjoyed at Manchester's acclaimed San Carlo Fumo restaurant on Saturday night. He shared an image of a glistening steak with a swirl of peppercorn sauce, and a large Italian flatbread seen in the background.
He was then pictured heading out on the town with his model pal Andrea Cassavia. Davide, 27, was rocking a stylish all-black ensemble with a low-buttoned shirt proving that he's kept his Mallorca tan going now he's back in similarly sizzling Manchester.

Andrea meanwhile, rocking a yellow Balenciaga t-shirt, black cargo pants and Burberry trainers, gave a special model pose for the cameras as he walked to BLVD with his pal Davide. Andrea also boldy wore a large chunky chain necklace - even though BLVD has a "no heavy jewellery" dress code policy.
Business owner Davide, who is originally from Rome, has been back in Manchester since the public final of the ITV2 dating contest last month crowned him the 2022 winner alongside Ekin-Su. He's already brought his partner back up to Manchester to show her some of the city's sights since their victory.
After the final, Love Island bosses revealed how fans voted in the final with Davide and Ekin-Su scooping a whopping 63.69 per cent of the public vote. The couple got off to a rocky start in the villa but found their way back to each other.
After a romantic date in a vineyard they became firm favourites with fans and were affectionately dubbed 'mum and dad.' After making romantic declarations at a summer ball the couple were left speechless with delight as they were declared the winners. In second place was Gemma Owen and Luca Bish with 14.47 per cent of the vote.
Indiyah Polack and Dami Hope claimed third place with 11.77 per cent and Tasha Ghouri and Andrew Le Page were fourth with 10.07 per cent. The public were able to vote across Sunday and Monday for their favourite couple.
A total of 3.4 million viewers watched the Love Island final on ITV2 and ITV Hub, the biggest finale since 2019, up 100,000 viewers year on year. Thanking fans for their support, Ekin-Su and Davide's official Instagram said: "To the next chapter. We cannot wait to see what the outside world brings for them both."
Since leaving the show, the couple are said to have been "besieged" by work offers, with Ekin-Su reportedly sign a big money fashion deal. She most recently posted a picture on her Instagram stories saying: "Busy bee".
Davide already owns his own company 'S Deluxe Shisha' which provides electronic devices from 'the best manufacturers in the world’ and offers catering services to venues across Manchester. And David has urged his followers to "never stop chasing your dreams" as he revealed how he proved everyone wrong in becoming a success in his life.
He wrote: "When I was in college, teachers used to say that I would have never make it to university. Well I guess they were wrong.
"They said I needed to learn English to get a better job and 4 years ago I moved to the UK to make that happen. Not in a million years I would have thought to win Love Island but more importantly find my soulmate.
"Thank you for all your support all of you. All of this just to say Never stop chasing your dreams".
